Chorus
Hey! Mr.
Tambourine Man,
play a song for
me,
I'm not
sleepy and there
is no place I'm
going to.
Hey! Mr.
Tambourine Man,

In the
jingle-jangle
morning I'll come
followin'
you
Verse 1
Though I
know that evenings
empire has
returned into
sand,
vanished from my
hand
Left me
blindly here to
stand but still not
sleepi

My
weariness
amazes me, I&rs
quo;m branded
on my fe
et, I have no o
ne to meet
And the
ancient empty
street's too dead for d
reamin

Verse 2
Take me on a
trip upon your
magic swirling
ship
My
senses have been
stripped, my
hands can't feel to
grip
My
toes too numb to
step, wait
only for my boot
heels to be

I'm
ready to go
anywhere I&rs
quo;m ready f
or to fade
In
to my own
parade, cast your
dancing spell my
way I
promise to go
under
it

Verse 3
Then
take me disap
pearing through the
smoke rings of my
mind
Down the
foggy ruins of
time, far
past the frozen
leaves
The
haunted frightened
trees, out
to the windy
beach
Far
from the twisted
reach of crazy s
orrow
Yes, to
dance beneath the
diamond sky with
one hand waving
free
Silhou
etted by the
sea, circled
by the circus
sands, with all
memory and
fate
Driven
deep beneath the
waves, let me for
get about to
day until
